Comprehensive Plan

Augusta-Richmond County Comprehensive Plan 2008

On October 21, 2008 the Augusta Commission adopted the Augusta-Richmond County Comprehensive Plan. The new plan supersedes the comprehensive plan adopted in 2004. The plan features an updated profile of Augusta’s population, housing, economy, transportation network, public facilities and services, natural and cultural resources, and land use.

The Community Agenda component of the plan includes a long-term vision for the future development of the entire City and eight neighborhood (character) areas, and an implementation program (goals, policies, and short-term work program) that the City and other stakeholders will use to address identified community issues and opportunities. The narrative for each neighborhood area includes a summary of the recommended development patterns, appropriate land uses, and zoning classifications.
